Flyer for the Country Bike Ramble
(By Shawn Granton)
We know it’s a bit late, but there are some great events this weekend. And, in case you hadn’t noticed, the sun is out! Check out the details of this weekend’s events below…
Saturday, October 5th
Rough Stuff/Country Bike (in the city) Ramble – 11:00am – 5:00pm, meet at Fernhill Park (NE 37th and Ainsworth)
From the ride organizer: “A ramble exploring the “country” aspects in the city while riding “Country” bikes. Expect a good deal of gravel/dirt action, climbs (you can walk it if you have to), meandering, and places you didn’t think existed. We’ll have food/picnic breaks along the way. Ride a bike geared towards comfort, not speed, and one that can handle off-road elements. Moderate pace, no one left behind. Lycra and carbon, no, shellac and seersucker, yes. Longer ride this time, estimated 30 miles with 3,000 ft cumulative climbing. Ride not a loop, but will end near transit and beer. Trailers not recommended.” More info here
